Those new, yet perplexing technologies like cryptocurrency and blockchain can be daunting for computer programmers. And especially those software developers who want to vault themselves to the forefront as thought-leaders, CEOs, or CFOs in a hot business sector like cryptocurrency. For entrepreneurs and software developers like Jed McCaleb, being on the cutting edge of technology, as it relates to the development of technology platforms, is quite customary.

Jed McCaleb’s talent for software development and creating groundbreaking computer platforms began around 2000, with a peer-to-peer file sharing platform he hatched named eDonkey. It was the first Internet platform to allow multiple people to download files.

And in 2018, Jed McCaleb is striving to once again, put his name on the short list of technology go-getters and industry disruptors. As CTO of Stellar.org, McCaleb and cofounder, Joyce Kim were looking for ways to solve some of the issues involved with cryptocurrency, especially the lack of scalability involved with Bitcoin. Stellar.com, a non-profit organization, works with the banking sector. Stellar.org works as an open-source network for institutions involved in Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, or Ethereum.

The mission of Stellar.org is to address the more than 2 billion people in the developing world who are not associated with any banks. McCaleb envisions Stellar Foundation to be that key business and investment solution. Stellar.org can bring cost effective, yet secure options for banking entities. Future banking customers could use Bitcoin to make cost effective and timely transactions in the same method that P2P file sharing softwares like Napster.com and McCaleb’s eDonkey did. Jed McCaleb’s plan with Stellar.org is to connect banks with an open-source network, which is affordable, yet provides for continuous transactions of cryptocurrency without detriment.

Besides potentially disruptive technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency, McCaleb is involved deeply in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Jed McCaleb quips that AI is something that could take hold in two decades. McCaleb is currently an advisor to the Machine Research Institute (MIRI). MIRI is a non-profit organization focused on creating tools that will ensure safety and security for AI computer programs used in the future.

In 2002, Hussain Sajwani established Damac Properties in Dubai. He specializes in acquiring land that he develops into luxury residential and retail spaces. The residential homes are primarily marketed to high net worth foreigners who want to own a home in the UAE. In order to build these properties, he has partnered with a number of global luxury brands that design some of the features of these properties such as the interiors.

One of the luxury brands that Hussain Sajwani has partnered with is the Trump Organization. Hussain Sajwani built a huge development outside of Dubai which includes luxury villas, apartments, and places designated for retail. The golf course that is part of the project is named after Donald Trump and is called the Trump International Course Dubai. The Trump Organization manages the golf course while DAMAC Group sells the properties that surround it.

At the DAMAC Group, Hussain Sajwani says he has three main principles when running the company. The first is that he buys the land for the projects outright with no loans. His second rule is that the escrow account for each project is completely separate so he doesn’t use the cash generated by one project to fund another.

Third, he maintains a certain level of cash reserves that are parked in bonds such as government treasuries. He does this so that even if the world stock markets enter a bear market he will still be able to stick to his construction plans.

In the operation of a business there are a lot of factors to consider especially when the business is spread across many countries. The business in Europe is different from the one in US or the one in Asia owing to various factors such as: culture, government regulations, professionals and the customer preference among other factors. McDonald says that OSI industries have both the global and the regional human resource to meet the customer’s needs.

OSI Group is a leader in the supply of value added protein goodies like beef patties. The company also deals in pizza, sausage links and sandwiches. OSI has close to 50 facilities spread over 17 countries in the world. Today, efforts by this privately held corporation to expand deeper into China are underway.

Even as the organization continues to expand in China, suffices to say it has been there for close to 20 years. China continues to grow economically owing to the economics that have come with OSI. The eight factories that are operated by OSI are soon going to be increased seeing as the company is working on introducing two more facilities. It was last year in September that construction of a new plant started in the province of Henan. Indeed, in the same month a joint venture agreement was made between OSI and DOYOO Group creating DaOSI: a poultry operation. This poultry venture is in fact OSI’s third venture. Clients such as McDonald’s, Saizeriya, Burger King, Subway, Starbucks, Papa John and Yum all buy their poultry from OSI.

Food Safety

OSI is keen on the safety of the foods that it sells to clients. It is for this reason that it continues to challenge manufacturers to build better machines like X-ray equipment built into cookers and kitchen ware to help detect foreign particles.

Education and Other Pursuits

David McDonalds went to Iowa State University where he graduated with a degree in Animal Science. He has a variety of skill sets: product development, food safety, business strategy, strategic planning, process improvement and manufacturing among others.
